Forex and the News
by Ellie Taft

Macroeconomic news-- like Unemployment, Gross Domestic Product, and the Balance of Trade -- has a dramatic effect on the currency markets.

And the government reports this key data at regularly scheduled times, with news outlets like CNBC, Bloomberg, and Reuters making it immediately available to everyone at once.

Then, for the next thirty minutes the market bounces up and down like crazy while the world tries to sort out what the numbers mean.

There is an incredible amount of news from which to seek your fortune.

Starting from the Beginning… When and Where Is The Next Big Report?

In the United States, there are twenty-four regularly scheduled economic reports released every month according to the following schedule...

Multiply the twenty-four reports listed above by eight currencies. Then add in the all-important interest rate announcements for each central bank. And you no longer wonder why the market gets so schizoid sometimes!

Relax. From a practical standpoint, only the highest rated reports are worth trading.

The most important announcements of all are monthly US Employment reports: Non-Farm Payroll and Unemployment.

Weekly Unemployment Claims, issued every Thursday, aren’t really very important… though some economic calendars rate them as high. But you can make a fortune off the monthly reports.

Interest rate announcements are also very critical. When the Fed talks, Forex shudders. In fact, all the Central Banks have a big influence on the currency markets.

The rest of the economic reports hold less or greater weight, depending on global circumstances at the time.

The Fundamental View

Now let’s take a closer look at a few of the more prominent reports and see how they affect the market.

It’s not hard to figure why Employment Reports are among the most important for every country. When more people have jobs, more money is spent in retail sales, which boosts corporate profits, so on and so forth.

In the US, the employment reports are prepared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. And they are released on the first Friday of the month, at exactly 8:30am ET.

Non-Farm Payroll Up: Stock Market up, Dollar up
Non-Farm Payroll Down: Stock Market Down, Dollar down

Unemployment Rate Up: Stock market down, Dollar down
Unemployment Rate Down: Stock Market up, Dollar up

The quarterly Gross Domestic Product (GDP) provides the best overall view of economic activity. In the US, the GDP covering the previous quarter is released by the Commerce Department at 8:30am ET, on the last day of the quarter.

GDP Up: Stock Market up, Dollar up
GDP Down: Stock Market down, Dollar down

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the retail price of a basket of goods and services, and indicates inflation. This report is released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics at 8:30am ET around the 15th of each month.

CPI Up: Stock Market Down, Dollar uncertain
CPI Down: Stock Market Up, Dollar uncertain

Prior to the release of every report, analysts from around the world publish a consensus of what they expect, and the market adjusts accordingly.

When the report is actually released, there is an immediate shock factor. And the market goes crazy.

Keep in mind, market reaction is entirely dependent on how the actual number compares with expectations. Even if the current report shows an improvement over the previous month, if it doesn’t meet expectations the market will react negatively. A better than expected number would cause a strengthening of the currency.

If the numbers come out exactly as expected, the market is likely to spike up and down, and then move sideways with a somewhat negative bias— adhering to the “buy the rumor, sell the news” phenomenon.

4) You should trade or invest only “risk capital” – money you can afford to lose. Trading stocks and stock options involves high risk and you can lose the entire principal amount invested or more.

5) All investments carry risk and all trading decisions made by a person remain the responsibility of that person. There is no guarantee that systems, indicators, or trading signals will result in profits or that they will not produce losses. Subscribers should fully understand all risks associated with any kind of trading or investing before engaging in such activities.

6) Some profit examples are based on hypothetical or simulated trading. This means the trades are not actual trades and instead are hypothetical trades based on real market prices at the time the recommendation is disseminated. No actual money is invested, nor are any trades executed. Hypothetical or simulated performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. Also, the hypothetical results do not include the costs of subscriptions, commissions, or other fees. Because the trades underlying these examples have not actually been executed, the results may understate or overstate the impact of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading services in general are also designed with the benefit of hindsight, which may not be relevant to actual trading. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. TradeWins makes no representations or warranties that any account will or is likely to achieve profits similar to those shown.

7) No representation is being made that you will achieve profits or the same results as any person providing testimonial. No representation is being made that any person providing a testimonial is likely to continue to experience profitable trading after the date on which the testimonial was provided, and in fact the person providing the testimonial may have experienced losses.

8) The author experiences are not typical. The author is an experienced investor and your results will vary depending on risk tolerance, amount of risk capital utilized, size of trading position and other factors. Certain Subscribers may modify the author methods, or modify or ignore the rules or risk parameters, and any such actions are taken entirely at the Subscriber’s own election and for the Subscriber’s own risk.
